Turkish crowds rally to democracy calls after coup attempt

Large crowds have gathered in Istanbul and other cities after calls by Turkish authorities to defend democracy after the failed military coup.

Less than 24 hours earlier thousands turned out to help rebuff the plot.
President Erdogan wants the extradition of US-based cleric Fethullah Gulen over the plot. But Mr Gulen rejects any suggestion of links to what happened.
Nearly 3,000 soldiers have been detained and some 2,700 judges sacked as the government re-asserts power.
Generals are reported to be among those detained.
Prime Minister Binali Yildirim called the coup attempt a "black stain on Turkish democracy".
Explosions and firing were heard in key cities on Friday night. Official figures put the number of civilians and police killed at 161, while 104 soldiers involved in the coup also died. The number of injured was 1,440.
US Secretary of State John Kerry urged the Turkish authorities to respect the rule of law during their investigations into the coup attempt.
President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has called on US President Barack Obama to extradite a US-based Turkish cleric, Fethullah Gulen, whom he accuses of being behind the plot.
Mr Gulen has denied this and the US has said that Turkey must prove the allegation before his extradition could be considered.
Meanwhile, the US has advised its citizens against any travel to Turkey.
"Foreign and US tourists have been explicitly targeted by international and indigenous terrorist organisations," warned a statement from the US State Department.
